KARACHI: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will soon speak to Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah about the recent appointments and transfers in the Karachi police department that did not follow standard procedure, sources told Express News on Tuesday.
The appointments are feared to have a negative impact on the ongoing Karachi operation.
A three-member committee of DG Rangers, IG Sindh and CCPO was constituted at the start of the operation and it was decided that all appointments and transfers should be approved by the committee. However, recent transfers made by the Sindh government were done without consulting the committee.
Leading the operation in the city, Rangers have expressed concerns over these changes.
The Sindh government has recently transferred three DIGs in the city.
Operation
The targeted operation started in Karachi after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited the metropolitan last year in a bid to devise a strategy to curb violence.
With the provincial government on board, the prime minister gave a go-ahead to the paramilitary force to conduct raids and arrest criminals with the help of the police. Subsequently, the operation began on September 7 and, since then, many suspects accused of target killing, extortion and anti-state activities have been arrested.
Law enforcement agencies recently turned its focus to banned militant outfits following the suicide attack that killed SP Chaudhry Aslam Khan and his colleagues on January 9.
